<i>Staphylococcus hsinchuensis</i> sp. nov., Isolated from Soymilk.

ABSTRACT: A novel coagulase-negative Staphylococcus strain (H164^T) was isolated from soymilk in Taiwan. Comparative sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene revealed that the H164^T strain is a member of the genus Staphylococcus. We used multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) and phylogenomic analyses to demonstrate that the novel strain was closely related to Staphylococcus gallinarum, Staphylococcus nepalensis, Staphylococcus cohnii, and Staphylococcus urealyuticus. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between H164^T and its closest relatives were <95% and <70%, respectively. The H164^T strain could also be distinguished from its closest relatives by the fermentation of _d-fr
